Monstrum Ladon
The Monstrum Ladon 1-6x24 SFP Scope is part of our budget-friendly Ladon Series, designed as a practical LPVO for range shooting without extra frills. It offers 1-6x magnification with an updated optics assembly, providing true 1x magnification, extended eye relief, and a wider eye box for better viewing. Equipped with the BDC A3 reticle, it includes 5.56 BDC hashmarks and remains the same size at all magnifications for clear visibility. The reticle features inline red illumination with 10 brightness settings for adaptable lighting. This package comes with an offset cantilever mount, spring-loaded flip-up lens covers, and is backed by Monstrum’s full lifetime warranty.
Crimson Trace Hardline
The Crimson Trace Hardline 3-9x40 is built for shooters who need a no-nonsense, durable scope that handles everything from close to mid-range engagements. Featuring a second focal plane CT Custom BDC .223/5.56 reticle, it offers precise shot placement with its 1/4 MOA click adjustments. While testing this scope, I appreciated the exposed windage and elevation turrets, allowing for quick, easy adjustments without needing tools. Its aerospace-grade aluminum construction and nitrogen-purged, multi-coated lenses hold up well in harsh conditions, staying clear and fog-free. At just 15.2 ounces, it’s a lightweight yet tough addition to any rifle setup, backed by Crimson Trace’s complete lifetime warranty for extra peace of mind.
